Rajma Sundal Recipe | Navratri Sundal Recipes

Rajma sundal recipe. Rajma sundal is made using red kidney beans and can be served as a neivedhyam and distributed to friends and relatives during the 9 days of Navrathri festival.

This is the first time I’m making Rajma sundal and must say that I rather liked it. Rajma is one touch cookie to crack. It is so bland and the absorption level of the spices used in a dish by Rajma is also very low.

So I used a special spice blend or rather a masala powder to make it more appealing taste wise. So I should rather be calling it as Rajma Masala Sundal.

You can use this masala powder to make other sundals as well. As I only make this Rajma Masala for chapathis and these Rajma Tikkis for the kids snacks, I’m so glad that I got to try yet another Sundal with rajma for this Navaratri Season.

Notes:

1. The spice powder can be made in bulk and stored in an air tight container and can be added to any sundal recipe.

2. Either black or white sesame seed can be used.

3. You can also add 1 to 2 tsp of grated coconut and roast it while making the spice powder. This will add more flavor to the spice powder.

4. The cooking time for Rajma will differ. The older the bean is the longer it will take to cook. The right consistency is that you should be able to mash it when pressed gently between your fingers.

There are 2 types of Rajma (red kidney beans) available in the market. You can use either of them to make this healthy and nutritious sundal.
